Some OnePlus 8 Pro users previously reported that their screens were suffering from "crushed" blacks and/or a green tint. A new update fixes display issues for some, but others still aren't seeing a difference.
Now, a redditor in the latter camp has reported that OnePlus considers this to be a hardware issue. User OcuQuest1409 posted a screenshot apparently showing their correspondence with OnePlus support staff. And the screenshot seems to show the employee acknowledging that it's a hardware problem.
Furthermore, the image suggests that OnePlus is allowing affected users to either send the OnePlus 8 Pro in for repairs, do a swap-out, or obtain a refund.
At least two other OnePlus 8 Pro users chime in on the thread to confirm that they've either gained refunds or swapped out devices due to a screen issue. So if confirmed, this means some OnePlus 8 Pro devices do indeed suffer from a defect that can't be solved by software.
We've contacted OnePlus for a statement on the matter and will update the article when they get back to us. Nevertheless, this seems like a straightforward approach to addressing a hardware issue if the screenshot is authentic.
